That reminds me of a former male colleague who was at the time, having an affair with one of his female trainees. And although both were married and it was obvious and common knowledge within work, both were adamant nothing was going on.Sister Mary wakes up in the Convent and when dressed, walks to the canteen for breakfast.
As she passes Sisters July and Maggie, one of them giggles and says, “Who got out of bed on the wrong side, then?”
Puzzled, but needing coffee, Sister Mary continues on.
She sees Sister Harriet who giggles and says, “Who got out of bed on the wrong side, then?”
But Sister Harriet moves on before Sister Mary can ask her to explain.
As she enters the Canteen, she sees Mother Superior. Before the Mother can speak, Sister Mary, hugely irritated, snaps, “If anyone else asks me who got out of bed the wrong side, “I’ll scream.”
Mother Superior smiles and says, “I was merely going to point out that you have the Bishop’s boots on.”

A group of us, including the two having an affair were in the pub one Friday lunchtime. Someone made a comment about the trainee getting out of the wrong side of the bed that morning, to which her boss said "You can only get out of one side of x's bed." A split second later he realised what he had said, which cued red faces from both him and his trainee, which were telling enough.
